Flood the Gaza Tunnels

The biggest problem confronting Israel in its war on Hamas is how to destroy the Gaza tunnel networks and the terrorist operations therein. Bombing works—mostly—but there’s a better way. Not only would it dramatically reduce Israeli military and Gazan civilian casualties, but it would effectively destroy the tunnel systems for the long term. That solution is to flood the tunnels with seawater from the adjacent Mediterranean.

CCP has announced a significant rise in bus fares in order to cover operating costs.

This reminds me of a classic column in Barron's back in the '70s. The USSR claimed that inflation is one of the diseases of capitalism; therefore, when they drastically raised the price of bread, according to Alan Abelson (Barrons editor if I recall) this price increase was "By popular demand."

Hahahah. Still laughing about that one 5 decades later.

To indicate just how seriously the CCP is taking this they have implemented the following: 1) Reduce interest rates on existing home loans. 2) Lowering the down payment ratio home loans. (You have to put up less money -- LP) 3) Easing property purchase restrictions 4) Additional measures within the banking sector.

In other words, re-inflate the bubble after it already has a hole in it. Good luck with that, commies.

Wouldn’t that drown any hostages being kept in the tunnels?

Flooding the tunnels was a prospect I suggested early on. A few miles of hose and a few bigaxx pumps should make them un-usable in short order. It should also make the connections way more obvious since tunnels are usually dug on a grade line and the water would come out someplace. Besides wiping out the tunnels a salt water wash down should also destroy all the goodies the hamassholes have stashed in them. And there shouldn’t be any extra harm to any hostages the muzzards are keeping in them. They’ll all come out doing the backstroke in the rising water.
